PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies, separated by a single game in the regular-season standings, open their National League Division Series on Saturday at Citizens Bank Park.

The best-of-five series begins with a marquee matchup between the 95-69 Dodgers and the 96-66 Phillies, who secured home-field advantage for this opening game. First pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies with a temperature around 65 degrees.

The clubs are familiar foes, having split six regular-season meetings. Their most recent series in September was a dramatic, three-game set in Los Angeles, where the Phillies won two extra-inning thrillers before the Dodgers salvaged the finale with a 5-0 shutout.

Los Angeles enters the postseason on a hot streak, having won eight of its last 10 games. In their regular-season finale, an 8-4 win over Cincinnati, Mookie Betts went 4 for 5 with three RBIs and Yoshinobu Yamamoto delivered a dominant start, striking out nine over 6 2/3 scoreless innings.

Philadelphia closed its season with a 2-1, 10-inning victory over Minnesota on Sept. 28, powered by strong pitching from Cristopher Sánchez and the bullpen. The Phillies have won six of their last 10.

Despite the Phillies being installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5, a Interstat game simulator projects a high-scoring affair, forecasting an 8-5 victory for the Dodgers. The over/under for the game is set at 7 runs.
